@emmericiajoseph
Dedicated professional passionate about supporting individuals with special needs.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated professional with a strong commitment to supporting individuals with special needs. My experience includes working one-on-one with individuals to help them achieve their personal goals, as well as leading group discussions and activities that foster community and understanding. I have developed exceptional listening skills and the ability to learn quickly, which I believe are essential in my field.
Throughout my career, I have held various roles, including Director of Specialist at Fresh Air Fund, where I supervised counselors and managed groups of children, ensuring a safe and supportive environment. My work at Qsac and Well Life Network has further enhanced my skills in patience, communication, and conflict resolution, allowing me to effectively engage with the low-functioning autistic community.
My educational background in human services and social work has equipped me with the knowledge and skills necessary to make a positive impact in the lives of children. I aspire to be a role model for those who are eager to learn, and I am passionate about creating opportunities for growth and development in a nurturing environment.
